Avpics Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A very hot topic at the moment (see what I did there?). Here in the UK we have weather warnings for wind and rain this weekend, and in Europe they're heading for another spell of extreme heat which I'm sure will affect us too as it did recently. Leaving the challenge as the one word leaves plenty of room for interpretation for those perhaps living in more benign areas. I suppose many would regard UK weather as pretty benign. All relative. As usual, images must come from Alamy and entries close at midnight UK time on 31st August. Some ideas, mostly for fun: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Nice one, surely something for everyone this month! Walking the dog (in adverse circumstances!)

LarsMadsen Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The Schneeferner glacier on Germany's highest mountain Zugspitze is literally going down the drain. Climate change has caused it to nearly disappear within the last couple of decades and and it is estimated that it will be completely gone in 25 years from now.

Marianne Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Severe thunderstorms cause flash flooding in 2017. A friend and I were sitting outside eating at a cafe near where we live and then it just rained like this, so it caused flooding within less than half an hour (so hard we had to go inside even with an awning overhead). When it let up I went under the cafe's awning and took this with my iPhone. Edited August 12, 2019 by Marianne I added the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Unusual weather in New York in February 2018 - 51 degrees F - led to a stunning sunset over the Hudson River. 😎(See what I did with the emoji for unusually warm weather) Good challenge.
